Strengths

- “There is a strong ethos of mutual respect and support in all areas.”
- “Pupils know that adults will deal with any worries or concerns they have.”
To improve
- “However, historically some pupils, including those with SEND, have not achieved well in published outcomes.”
- “Previous weaker achievement was linked to poor attendance for a high proportion of pupils and some key inconsistencies in curriculum thinking.”
- “However, sometimes, they do not check what pupils know and understand carefully enough, including in phonics, before introducing new work.”
